Peacebuilding Mapping

The Peacebuilding Mapping Project seeks to map the principles and parameters of the peacebuilding field (primarily among US organizations), and to study how peacebuilding intersects with related fields such as development, humanitarian assistance, human rights, religion, environment, health, democracy building, etc. We feel that examining these intersections will allow us to develop creative partnerships and more effective programming.

Conflict Prevention

Policymakers in Washington and around the world are increasingly focusing on how to prevention violent conflicts before they happen. The expansion of the prevention agenda in Washington marks an historic opportunity for the fields of genocide prevention and conflict prevention to work together to improve their impact and save lives.

AfP's prevention work promotes collaboration between these two communities and links conflict prevention theories and practices to the emerging energy to prevent and respond to genocide and mass atrocities.

Strategic Communications

This program works to shift the conversation on peace and security in the United States.

On May 23, 2013, during his speech at the National Defense University, President Obama reflected on the crossroads at which the United States finds itself as we draw down from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. As he stated, the status quo is unsustainable for our democracy; we must now find ways to combat terrorism that do not require keeping the nation on a perpetual wartime footing. President Obama laid out a new strategy for national security and counterterrorism, emphasizing that American security and values demand that we make the effort to address the core grievances and root causes underlying violent conflict and extremism. The peacebuilding community has generations of experience in and knowledge of preventing, mitigating, and addressing the root causes of violent conflict.

The Alliance for Peacebuilding (AfP), in collaboration with NAFSA: Association of International Educators and the Peace Alliance, has developed a four-year Strategic Communications Campaign to reclaim the narrative of peace and shift the peace and security conversation in America, prompting the country and policymakers to think about policies and practices that will make the world more secure as we emerge from a decade of perpetual war.
